While the crew set up the cameras and such, Cecil talked to the two men to keep his mind off of the cameras. He didn't mind being recorded - that was, after all, what he did for a living - but it was always just his voice. Visuals would be new, and he wasn't quite sure how he felt about it.
So he asked Shane and Ryan why they had come to Night Vale.
"We work for a company called BuzzFeed," answered Ryan, "And we co-host a series called BuzzFeed Unsolved, where we talk about true crime cases and supernatural mysteries."
"And we've heard some pretty supernatural stuff about this little city here," Shane jumped in, "So our next video is gonna cover some of it."
Cecil stared. "Um, what exactly have you heard?" 'What have you seen?' He almost asked, but held his tongue.
"Let's see...Angels, potential cults, possible UFOs..."
"You know, the usual spoopy stuff."
Ryan turned to Shane. "Spoopy?" He asked in disbelief.
"It's a thing the kids say."
"Sure. Anyway," He turned to Cecil, who wore a polite but bewildered expression. 'Spoopy?'
"Oh, wasn't there also something about a dragon?" Shane asked.
Ryan shook his head. "Dragon...?"
Cecil couldn't help himself. He laughed out loud, saying "Oh, I've heard about this dragon. Seen him, in fact. The whole town has!"
Ryan looked at Cecil, concerned, but before he could ask whatever question he was trying to form, the camera crew told them they were ready to start.
Ryan shook himself and opened a folder. Cecil sat up straighter, suddenly and once again aware of the cameras.
Ryan turned to Cecil and told him, "Ok, I'm going to go ahead and start with a voiceover, and once we get the signal from our camera person, we'll start the actual filming. Ready?"
Cecil just nodded.
Shane leaned back in his chair.
Ryan looked down and began to read.
"Life long Night Vale resident and radio host Cecil Palmer agreed to tell us about some of the odd things he's witnessed and even experienced."
The camera person held up a thumbs up, and the camera began rolling.
